Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for separating the gases electrolytically developed on the cathode or on the anode during melt flow electrolysis by means of a fine-pored, electrically conductive separator, and to a melt flow electrolysis device suitable for this.
- a particular field of application of the invention is the melt flow electrolysis of water vapor in an alkali hydroxide melt for the production of hydrogen from water.
- the inventive method of the type mentioned is characterized in that cathodic polarization protection of the separator is provided.
- DE-B2-2 637633 already discloses a method for corrosion protection of metallic objects in general, such as Containers, known, in which the passive state of the pulsating anodically protected object is to be improved by briefly short-circuiting the cathode with the aid of a potential regulator (during the breaks).
- this corrosion protection process is difficult to incorporate into alkaline water electrolysis.
- a porous sintered metal diaphragm between the anode and cathode is used as the separator, which is electrically connected to the cathode via a variable resistor, which is set or regulated in such a way that a maximum discharge current of less than about 1% of the total load on the electrolysis at the diaphragm occurs.
- a suitable diaphragm for the alkaline melt flow electrolysis of water is, in particular, a porous nickel membrane, such as is obtained, for example, by applying a binder-containing metal powder composition to a metal network with subsequent firing and sintering of the powder in hydrogen.
- the porosity of a nickel diaphragm produced in this way is preferably at least about 70%, with about 80% of the pores being smaller than 10 ⁇ m.
- a porous diaphragm was produced in the following way: A nickel powder mass pasted with a rubber solution in toluene as a binder in a total amount of 50 mg / cm 2 was placed on both sides of a nickel mesh (mesh size 0.25 mm, wire thickness 0.35 mm) Mesh carrier applied or coated as a layer of nickel powder.

Description
Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf ein Verfahren zur Trennung der an der Kathode beziehungsweise an der Anode bei einer Schmelzflusselektrolyse elektrolytisch entwickelten Gase durch einen feinporigen, elektrisch leitenden Separator sowie auf eine dafür geeignete Schmelzflusselektrolysevorrichtung.The invention relates to a method for separating the gases electrolytically developed on the cathode or on the anode during melt flow electrolysis by means of a fine-pored, electrically conductive separator, and to a melt flow electrolysis device suitable for this.
Ein besonderes Anwendungsgebiet der Erfindung ist die Schmelzflusselektrolyse von Wasserdampf in einer Alkalihydroxidschmelze zur Herstellung von Wasserstoff aus Wasser.A particular field of application of the invention is the melt flow electrolysis of water vapor in an alkali hydroxide melt for the production of hydrogen from water.
Für die zukünftige Wasserstofftechnologie ist die wirtschaftliche Wasserstoffproduktion eine der wesentlichen Voraussetzungen. Es zeigt sich dabei, dass die Elektrolyse von in geschmolzenen Hydroxyden gelöstem Wasserdampf eine besonders vorteilhafte Art der Wasserstoffherstellung ist: Durch die dabei zwangsläufig gegebene erhöhte Arbeitstemperatur wird der Elektrolysevorgang sowohl energetisch als auch kinetisch weitgehend begünstigt.Economic hydrogen production is one of the essential prerequisites for future hydrogen technology. It turns out that the electrolysis of water vapor dissolved in molten hydroxides is a particularly advantageous way of producing hydrogen: the inevitably increased working temperature means that the electrolysis process is largely favored both energetically and kinetically.
Die einerseits günstige Anwendung erhöhter Temperaturen beschleunigt allerdings anderseits unerwünschte Vorgänge, die bei niedrigeren Temperaturen gehemmt sind, wie z. B. die Korrosion. Um dem Korrosionsangriff wirksam zu begegnen, wählt man üblicherweise solche Materialien für die Elektrolysezelle und die Elektroden, die in genügendem Masse korrosionsbeständig sind. Diese gängige Art, einem Korrosionsangriff zu begegnen, zwingt jedoch häufig dazu, sehr teure oder seltene Materialien zu verwenden oder auch solche Stoffe, deren Anwendung mit negativen Begleiterscheinungen verbunden ist, wie nachfolgend näher erläutert wird:
- Ein besonderes Problem bildet die Auswahl eines geeigneten Diaphragmamaterials für geschmolzene Hydroxide, deren hoher Korrosivität nur wenige bekannte Materialien widerstehen können, so dass die Zahl der zur Verfügung stehenden Materialien stark begrenzt ist. Kunststoffe, zum Beispiel Teflon, sind wegen ihrer zu geringen Temperaturbeständigkeit nicht geeignet. Man kennt für diesen Zweck nur einige Metalloxide oder Oxidgemische. Folgt man den Literaturangaben (H. Lux, E. Renauer, E. Betz: Z. anorg. allg. Chemie, 310, [1961], 305), so kommen im wesentlichen nur Al2O3, HfO2, ZrO2 oder ThO2 in Betracht.
- A particular problem is the selection of a suitable diaphragm material for molten hydroxides, the high corrosiveness of which only a few known materials can withstand, so that the number of available materials is very limited. Plastics, for example Teflon, are not suitable due to their low temperature resistance. Only a few metal oxides or oxide mixtures are known for this purpose. If one follows the references (H. Lux, E. Renauer, E. Betz: Z. anorg. Allg. Chemie, 310, [1961], 305), essentially only Al 2 O 3 , HfO 2 , ZrO 2 or ThO 2 into consideration.
Die Beständigkeit des billigsten dieser Oxide, nämlich des Al2O3, ist allerdings in der Hydroxidschmelze so eingeschränkt, dass jegliche poröse Struktur ausgeschlossen werden muss und nur irgendeine kompakte Form geeignet ist. Aus diesem Grunde wurden von der Anmelderin bereits (nichtporöse) Trennwände aus β-Al2O3, das ein Feststoffelektrolyt ist, vorgeschlagen. Das β-Al2O3 ist vorläufig jedoch noch nicht allgemein zugänglich und nur bei einer beschränkten Anzahl von Forschungsstätten verfügbar. Ferner ist die Entwicklung des Preises nur schwer abschätzbar und von vielen Faktoren abhängig, so dass es heikel . erscheint, eine grosstechnische Produktion darauf abzustellen.However, the resistance of the cheapest of these oxides, namely Al 2 O 3 , is so limited in the hydroxide melt that any porous structure must be excluded and only some compact form is suitable. For this reason, the applicant has already proposed (non-porous) partition walls made of β-Al 2 O 3 , which is a solid electrolyte. For the time being, however, the β-Al 2 O 3 is not yet generally accessible and only available at a limited number of research facilities. Furthermore, the development of the price is difficult to estimate and depends on many factors, making it tricky . appears to be based on a large-scale production.
Von den übrigen oben genannten Metalloxiden kommt eigentlich nur das poröse Zr02 in Frage. Dieses Oxid ist ebenfalls nicht billig und ausserdem sehr schwer in einer mechanisch genügend stabilen und gleichzeitig ausreichend porösen Form zu erhalten. Vermutlich lässt sich das Zusammentreffen beider Eigenschaften auch in Zukunft nur sehr beschränkt beim Zr02 erreichen.Of the other metal oxides mentioned above, only the porous Zr0 2 is actually suitable. This oxide is also not cheap and is also very difficult to obtain in a mechanically sufficiently stable and at the same time sufficiently porous form. Presumably, the combination of both properties can only be achieved to a very limited extent in the future with the Zr0 2 .
Auf der Suche nach einem billigen Diaphragma wurde auch schon versucht, Diaphragmen aus Metallnetzen zu verwenden (Winnacker-Küchler: Chemische Technologie, Band 6, S. 97). Diese haben jedoch zum einen nur eine schlechte Trennwirkung, die für die Wasserstoff/Sauerstoff-Separation völlig unzureichend ist, und zum anderen werden'sie von der Schmelze schon in einigen Tagen so stark angegriffen, dass sie sich zumindest teilweise auflösen.In the search for a cheap diaphragm, attempts have already been made to use diaphragms made of metal nets (Winnacker-Küchler: Chemische Technologie, Volume 6, p. 97). On the one hand, however, these have only a poor separation effect, which is completely inadequate for hydrogen / oxygen separation, and on the other hand, they are attacked by the melt so severely in a few days that they at least partially dissolve.
Dasselbe passiert auch mit einem Diaphragma, das aus gesintertem Metallpulver besteht. Ein solches Diaphragma besitzt zwar wegen seiner feinen Porosität hervorragende Separationseigenschaften, es ist jedoch gerade aus diesem Grund sehr korrosionsanfällig.The same thing happens with a diaphragm made of sintered metal powder. Such a diaphragm has excellent separation properties because of its fine porosity, but it is precisely for this reason that it is very susceptible to corrosion.
Nach einer älteren europäischen Patentanmeldung (EP-A-1-0 022 252) der Anmelderin wird ein solches, insbesondere mit einem Drahtnetz versehenes Sintermetalldiaphragma bei erhöhter Temperatur in sauerstoffhaltiger Atmosphäre so weit aufoxidiert, dass ein ausreichend isolierender, mechanisch angemessen stabiler Körper resultiert, der als Diaphragma für die alkalische Wasserelektrolyse brauchbar ist.According to an older European patent application (EP-A-1-0 022 252) by the applicant, such a sintered metal diaphragm, in particular provided with a wire mesh, is oxidized to such an extent at elevated temperature in an oxygen-containing atmosphere that a sufficiently insulating, mechanically appropriately stable body results is useful as a diaphragm for alkaline water electrolysis.
Es wurde nun gefunden, dass eine solche Oxidation vermieden werden kann, wenn man das Lösungspotential des Separators durch entsprechende Vorspannung herabsetzt. Das heisst, durch ausreichend kathodische Polung des metallischen Diaphragmas in der Elektrolysezelle wird der an sich bestehenden Lösungstendenz des metallischen Sinterkörpers ausreichend entgegengewirkt.It has now been found that such an oxidation can be avoided if the solution potential of the separator is reduced by appropriate biasing. This means that the cathode polarity of the metallic diaphragm in the electrolytic cell is sufficiently counteracted by the tendency of the metallic sintered body to dissolve.
Demgemäss ist das erfindungsgemässe Verfahren der eingangs genannten Art dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass ein kathodischer Polarisationsschutz des Separators vorgesehen wird.Accordingly, the inventive method of the type mentioned is characterized in that cathodic polarization protection of the separator is provided.
Aus der DE-B2-2 637633 ist zwar bereits ein Verfahren zum Korrosionsschutz von metallischen Gegenständen allgemein, wie z.B. Behältern, bekannt, bei dem der passive Zustand des pulsierend anodisch geschützten Gegenstandes durch kurzzeitigen Kurzschluss mit der Kathode mit Hilfe eines Potentialreglers (in den Pausen) verbessert werden soll. Dieses Korrosionsschutzverfahren lässt sich jedoch schwerlich in die alkalische Wasserelektrolyse einfügen.DE-B2-2 637633 already discloses a method for corrosion protection of metallic objects in general, such as Containers, known, in which the passive state of the pulsating anodically protected object is to be improved by briefly short-circuiting the cathode with the aid of a potential regulator (during the breaks). However, this corrosion protection process is difficult to incorporate into alkaline water electrolysis.
Vorzugsweise wird beim erfindungsgemässen Verfahren als Separator ein poröses Sintermetalldiaphragma zwischen Anode und Kathode verwendet, das elektrisch über einen Regelwiderstand mit der Kathode verbunden ist, der so eingestellt beziehungsweise geregelt wird, dass am Diaphragma ein maximaler Entladungsstrom von weniger als etwa 1% der Gesamtbelastung der Elektrolyse auftritt.Preferably, in the method according to the invention, a porous sintered metal diaphragm between the anode and cathode is used as the separator, which is electrically connected to the cathode via a variable resistor, which is set or regulated in such a way that a maximum discharge current of less than about 1% of the total load on the electrolysis at the diaphragm occurs.
Für die alkalische Schmelzflusselektrolyse von Wasser eignet sich als Diaphragma insbesondere eine poröse Nickelmembran, wie sie zum Beispiel durch Auftragen einer bindemittelhaltigen Metallpulvermasse auf ein Metallnetz mit nachfolgendem Brennen und Sintern des Pulvers in Wasserstoff erhalten wird. Die Porosität eines so hergestellten Nickel-Diaphragmas liegt vorzugsweise bei mindestens etwa 70%, wobei etwa 80% der Poren kleiner als 10 µm sind.A suitable diaphragm for the alkaline melt flow electrolysis of water is, in particular, a porous nickel membrane, such as is obtained, for example, by applying a binder-containing metal powder composition to a metal network with subsequent firing and sintering of the powder in hydrogen. The porosity of a nickel diaphragm produced in this way is preferably at least about 70%, with about 80% of the pores being smaller than 10 μm.
Eine zu stark negative Vorspannung des Diaphragmas sollte allerdings vermieden werden, damit sowohl mögliche Ladungsverluste als auch eine Wasserstoffentwicklung im Anodenraum mit der Gefahr der Knallgasexplosion nicht ins Gewicht fallen.An excessively negative bias of the diaphragm should be avoided, however, so that possible charge losses as well as hydrogen development in the anode compartment with the risk of detonating gas explosion are neglected.
Nachfolgend wird die Erfindung anhand eines speziellen Ausführungsbeispiels beschrieben.The invention is described below on the basis of a special exemplary embodiment.
Beispiel Ein poröses Diaphragma wurde in folgender Weise hergestellt: Auf ein Nickelnetz (Maschenweite 0,25 mm, Drahtstärke 0,35 mm) wurde eine mit einer Kautschuklösung in Toluol als Bindemittel angeteigte Nickelpulvermasse in einer Gesamtmenge von 50 mg/cm2 auf beide Seiten des Netzträgers als Nickelpulverschicht aufgetragen beziehungsweise gestrichen. Das verwendete INCO-Nickelpulver Typ 255 hatte eine Teilchengrösse von 2,3 bis 3 µm. Nach 15 Minuten Sintern unter Wasserstoff bei 800°C wurde ein 0,5 mm dickes Metallsinterdiaphragma mit 80%iger Porosität erhalten. 80% der Poren waren kleiner als 10 µm.EXAMPLE A porous diaphragm was produced in the following way: A nickel powder mass pasted with a rubber solution in toluene as a binder in a total amount of 50 mg / cm 2 was placed on both sides of a nickel mesh (mesh size 0.25 mm, wire thickness 0.35 mm) Mesh carrier applied or coated as a layer of nickel powder. The INCO nickel powder type 255 used had a particle size of 2.3 to 3 µm. After sintering under hydrogen at 800 ° C. for 15 minutes, a 0.5 mm thick metal sintered diaphragm with 80% porosity was obtained. 80% of the pores were smaller than 10 µm.
Der in 7n KOH bei 20°C gemessene spezifische Oberflächenwiderstand lag bei 0,10 Qcm2. Dieser ausgezeichnete Wert wird bei der Arbeitstemperatur (ca. 350°C) natürlich noch geringer. Die Reinheit der Gase HZ/O2, die zunächst nur bei 75 °C und 1 A/cm2 getestet werden konnte, lag bei 0,20%.The specific surface resistance measured in 7n KOH at 20 ° C was 0.10 Qcm2. This excellent value is of course even lower at the working temperature (approx. 350 ° C). The purity of the gases H Z / O 2 , which could initially only be tested at 75 ° C and 1 A / cm 2 , was 0.20%.
Kathodisch ungeschützt löst sich dieses Diaphragma in der Hydroxidschmelze schon in einigen Stunden auf. Belastet man das Diaphragma dagegen mit einem Schutzstrom von nur 1 mA/ cm2 bei einer Elektrolysestromdichte von 500 mA/ cm2, so erhält man einen ausreichenden Korrosionsschutz, wie durch einen Langzeitversuch über mehr als 500 Stunden in der NaOH-Schmelze bei 360 °C nachgewiesen wurde. Das Diaphragma war am Ende des Versuches noch voll funktionsfähig. Der gemessene Stromverlust, der-wenn er beachtlich wäre - gleichzeitig zu einer gefährlichen Bildung von Knallgas führen könnte, ist völlig vernachlässigbar.Unprotected cathodically, this diaphragm dissolves in the hydroxide melt in just a few hours. On the other hand, if the diaphragm is loaded with a protective current of only 1 mA / cm 2 at an electrolysis current density of 500 mA / cm 2 , adequate corrosion protection is obtained, such as through a long-term test over more than 500 hours in the NaOH melt at 360 ° C was proven. The diaphragm was still fully functional at the end of the experiment. The measured power loss, which - if it were considerable - could lead to a dangerous formation of oxyhydrogen gas, is completely negligible.
Die angefügte Skizze zeigt eine Schaltung für die Durchführung des vorstehenden Verfahrens: die von einer Gleichstromquelle mit Spannung versorgte Elektrolysezelle 1 wird durch ein feinporiges elektrisch leitendes Diaphragma 2 in einen Anoden- und einen Kathodenraum unterteilt.The attached sketch shows a circuit for carrying out the above method: the electrolysis cell 1, which is supplied with voltage from a direct current source, is divided into an anode and a cathode space by a fine-pored, electrically conductive diaphragm 2.
Dieses Diaphragma 2 steht mit der Kathode über eine Verbindungsleitung 3 in Verbindung, in der ein Regelwiderstand 4 und gegebenenfalls ein Amperemeter 5 vorgesehen sind. Die Dimensionierung des Widerstandes richtet sich nach den Zellabmessungen und der Leitfähigkeit des Elektrolyten, wobei spezielle Werte ohne weiteres unter Zugrundelegung des Ohmschen Gesetzes abgeschätzt werden könnten. Übliche Werte werden in der Gegend von 500 bis 5000 Q liegen.This diaphragm 2 is connected to the cathode via a connecting
